Bush encouraged on Syria, North Korea

President Bush, meeting with two recently returned prisoners of war at Ford Hood, Texas, said Syria is showing signs that it's "beginning to get the message" about denying refuge to Iraqi officials fleeing their home country. "There's some positive signs," said Bush, who also attended Easter services at the Army facility. Bush's comments came after two congressmen on a visit to Damascus, Syria, said they received assurances in a meeting with President Bashar Assad that his nation won't harbor Iraqis who move cross the Iraq-Syria border seeking to escape U.S. forces on the lookout for figures who served under Saddam Hussein. Separately, Bush said he sees a "good chance" that headway can be made on defusing the situation surrounding North Korea's efforts to resume operations of a controversial nuclear reactor.
